Alone in silence, screaming inside ripped apart in the road i ride no one to listen,the pain gets worse total confusion, my head wants to burst they say things will get better they say things are fine but who knows whats happening in this head of mine The silent crys, the painless cuts they say i am hopeless, well i have guts i keep my silence, i sit and smile but i just wish to run a mile the pain that i feel,the hurt inside sometimes its hard, just want to hide i let it out, i scream,i shout no one to hear, no one about there is a light, its far away i keep on trying,ill get there one day the light gets closer, its not to far my journey was long, but worth it some how the pain i felt, it fades in the past the hurt and tourment,is going at last See im not at all crazy,nor ami mad ive been to a bad place,of which i am glad im stronger than ever,im now at the light im so pleased i fought it im glad ofmy life

So what is the light? Is the light relative?

No problem. I like how these lyrics are open-ended. People have entirely different circumstances, but there really are a few constant questions and struggles we all share.

Well done Julie, I like the way you expressed your pain then killed it off with a positive ending, this shows strength rather than hopelessness and allows the reader to understand your battle then be happy for you.

I am pleased you fought too, there is a reason hang in there and all that's in the dark will come to the light.

" i am now at the light"? Needs Poetic explanation, otherwise it's a statement.

Your place is familiar. I know that pain. Coming out of it is such a free feeling,sometimes memorably so. Enjoyed your poem,thanks for sharing.

Julie.....reading that poem was so upsetting....my heart breaks for you, and I admire your courage to share your ordeal......That man wasn't a father, more a monster!.......I hope he was reported, and severely punished......I hope he is dead....your poem might give courage to other innocent children also suffering in silence..........who should stay silent ...NO MORE!.....
